Fab Freebie: Sherry’s Birthday Wish

***This giveaway has reached its cap and is now closed – see who won below!***

You guys shut this puppy down with 10,000 entries in less than a day. Wow! So we’ve already selected our random winner. She is… Rhonda (who thinks she’s gonna ask for a juicer – to go along with her Christmas blender). Congrats!

Tomorrow is Sherry’s 31st birthday. So a few weeks ago I asked her if she wanted to do anything special giveaway-wise to celebrate. She looked dreamily towards the sky, a smile spread across her face, and she said “I want to do a Jonathan Adler giveaway and I want a picture of him holding ceramic animals and grinning like a fool. Because we are kindred spirits. That would pretty much make my year.”

A week later this photo appeared in my inbox:

Jonathan Adler Giveawy Ceramic Animals

The girl wanted a Jonathan Adler giveaway (you can read more about her love of the guy here) and the girl got it. The wonderfully cheerful people of Jonathan Adler were completely down with the idea (and the ceramic-animal-centric photo, apparently) so they’ve offered up a whopping $500 for one lucky winner to spend on whatever they’d like – animal or otherwise. Beyond obsessing over his white ceramic creatures, Sherry shares his love of poppy patterns, colorful accents, and chic accessories that don’t take themselves too seriously. So, um, happy birthday to one of you!

    I want a nephew or another niece! My sister in law is due about 2 weeks after my birthday, and my niece was 2.5 weeks early so I don’t think it’s too much to ask ;)

    Birthday me!!!

    I would love to go on a long bike ride with my fiance and then relax at the lake with our dog and some friends.

    I’d also LOVE to find a house. We’ve been looking for awhile but between the competitive Austin housing market (the last two houses we were interested in sold the day they were listed!) and our location restrictions, it’s proved to be difficult.

    I just had a birthday a few weeks ago and got exactly what I wanted: close friends celebrating the opening of my new consignment shop – complete with cake, sangria, and shopping. If business goes well I’ll be wishing for a bigger space come next birthday!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I already know what I’m getting for my birthday in September – a cruise! Technically it’s our honeymoon cruise. I mean our one-year-plus-a-month cruise. Uh, actually it’s like a last hurrah before I have my 3rd knee surgery in a year. Whatever, it’s my BIRTHDAY! We’re headed to Mexico, and I’m dying for some black and white aztec blankets on the cheap.

    would love to get a brand name handbag, brand name sunglasses, or a mink looking coat. i don’t like big parties, i’m fine celebrating with my husband alone. i don’t drop hints for gifts, and i’m super cheap, so i won’t get any of them :)
